TCS Teachers Present at ASTA

Ryan Hook, fifth grade science teacher at Magnolia, and Blaire Perry, fifth grade science teacher at Paine, presented at the Alabama Science Teachers Association Annual Professional Development Conference at the McWane Center this week.  The teachers' session was entitled, "Bringing Science to the Forefront in the Elementary Grades."  During the session, participants discussed the value of science instruction in the elementary grades and shared the strategies they have tested to raise awareness about science in the elementary grades.

Angie Simonetti, Kurt Kristensen, Katie Riggins, and Cynthia Thomas, science teachers at HTHS, all had great presentations at the ASTA (Alabama Science Teachers Association) Conference.  Their sessions were packed out, with standing room only both times. Cynthia had a great turnout for an end of the day session and lunch time session (she also had two individual sessions).
